HOW WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION

• In early March, 2003 Deseret Mutual will begin implementing new federal privacy regulations that must be in place by April 14, 2003 regarding your personal health information (PHI).
  
  
• You will receive information about our new policies and what you can do to protect your personal information.
  
  
• While these new regulations will not affect your coverage with Deseret Mutual, they will affect the way we may disclose your personal health information — either to you or to others on your behalf.

WHAT WILL CHANGE:

1. Before we disclose any personal health information, we will ask questions to verify your identity.
   
   
2. To request personal health information on another’s behalf (even immediate family), you must have authorization to access this information. This may require a password.
   
   
3. Please keep in mind that you have rights regarding the use and disclosure of your personal health information. For more information, please see the Medical Privacy Notice you received in the mail.

If you have any questions, please call Deseret Mutual’s Privacy Officer or Compliance Specialist. Our telephone numbers are 1-801-578-5600 or toll free at 1-800-777-3622.
